An  Act/or  (he  relief  of  Jeremiah  H.  Dupree,  Receiver  of  Tax  Returns 
in  and  for  the  county  of  Dooly. 

Whereas,  Jemiiah  H.  Dupree,  of  the  county  of  Dooly,  and

county  of  Dooly,  for  the  yeai  eighteen  hundred  and  sixty,  and  hav- 
ing entered  upon  his  duties  as  such,  had  performed  said  duty  faithfully, 
so  far  as  to  have  taken  down  all  the  persons  liable  to  pay  taxes  in 
said  county,  with  their  property,  value,  &o.,  in  terms  of  the  law, 
had  made  out  all  his  digests,  except  a  small  portion,  late  one  Sat- 
urday night,  placed  the  same  away  to  be  completed  on  Monday  ; 
on  Sunday  went  over  a  short  distance  to  attend  Church,  and  du- preamble. 
ring  his  short  absence,  his  house,  and  all  he  possessed  in  it,  as  well 
as  said  digests  of  Tax  Returns  were  burnt  up  by  lire,  with  his 
said  dwelling  house,  from  some  cause  unknown  to  him,  either  by 
accident  or  otherwise,  and  he  was  compelled  again  to  enter  upon 
the  same  duty  at  once,  and  to  perform  the  same  service  which  he 
did  in  a  faithful  manner,  riding  almost  incessantly  night  and  day,  - 
seeing  every  person  liable  to  pay  taxes,  retook  them  in  due  time,  with- 
out delay,  at  great  pains,  labor,  incessant  toil,  trouble  to  himself 
and  injury  to  his  horses,  to  accomplish  his  said  work,  which  he 
did  fully  and  properly  accomplish  ;  and  whereas,  it  has  always 
been  the  policy  of  this  State  to  properly  reward  a  faithful  servant, 
and  to  relieve  against  the  act  of  God  or  casual  accidents  over 
which  the  party  could  have  no  control,  and  not  to  have  the  faithful 
labor  of  a  public  servant  for  nothing,  but  where  labor  was  actual- 
ly performed,  to  reward  it  commensurate  with  the  worth  of  that 
labor.     Therefore,

Whereas,  This  spirit  of  fanaticism  has  allied  itself  with  a  design, 
long  entertained  by  leading  politicians  of  the  North,  to  wield  the 
taxing  power  of  the  Government  for  the  purpose  of  protecting  ami  r  ,, 
fostering  the  interests  of  that  section  of  the  Union,  and  also  to 
appropriate  the  common  Territories  of  the  United  Stales  td  the  ex- 
elusive  use  of  Northern  emigration,  for  the  purpose  of  extending, 
consolidating,  and  rendering  that  power  irreversible.     And, 

Wherejas,  These  designs  and  movements  have  attained  such 
ascendency,  as  to  combine  a  large  majority  of  the  Northern  people

Vice-Presidency  of  the  United  States,  candidates  who  are  pledged 
in  the  most  solemn  form,  and  by  the  plainest,  repeated  declara-

Whereas*  Many  of  the  slaveholding  States  are  about  to  assemble 
in  Conventions  for  the  purpose  of  adopting  measures  for  the  pro- 
tection of  their  rights  and  the  security  of  their  institutions.     And, rr",!"1,1''' 

Whereas*  The  State  of  Mississippi  has,  in  a  noble  spirit  of  frater- 
nitv.  sent  a  Commissioner  to  communicate  to  this  General  Assem- 
bly  her  desire  in  this  emergency  in  our  federal  relations.  There- 
fore  be  it 

Resolved!,  1st.  Thai  the  General  Assembly  of  Georgia  has  listened 
with  sentiments  of  profound  sympathy  and  respect  to  tin*  messages 
of  Mississippi,  on  the  subject  of  the  present  threatening  relations 
of  the  Northern  and  Southern  sections  of  the  United  Si  ales,  com- 
municated by  her  distinguished  commissioner,  the  Hon.  William 
L.  Harris. 

Resolved  2d.  That,  believing  as  we  do  thaj;  tin1  present  crisis  in 
our  national  affairs  demands  resistance,  this  General  Assembly,  at 

.  ....  .      .  i  a     j.  Relating  to 

its  present   session,  has  with    great    unanimity  passed  an  Act  pro- ■  « 
viding  lor  the   call  of  a  convention  of  the  people  of  Georgian  to ^ 
assemble  on  the  Kith  day  of  January,  ls(>i,  lor  the  purpose  of  de- 
termining on  the  mode,  measure  and  time  of  that  resistance. 

Resolved  3d.  That  we  cordially  respond  to  the  patriotic  hopes  of 
Mississippi,  so  earnestly  expressed  by  her  Legislature,  and  so  ably  ti'.-'sV 
conmiunicat  id  by  her  commissioner ;  and  we  do  herebv  give  to  our 
sisier  State  the  confident  assurance  that,  in  our  judgment,  Georgia 
will  promptly  co-operate  with  her  in  the  adoption  of  efficient 
measures  for  the  common  defense,  safety  and  honor  of  the  South. 

Resolved  4th.  That,  should  any  or  all  of  the  Southern  Stales  de- 
termine in  the  present  emergency  to  withdraw  from  the  Union  and 
resume  their  sovereignty,  it  is  the  sense  of  this  General  Asseinblv.K'T'1!''''™ 
that  such  seceding  States  should  form  a  confederacy  under  a  repub-" 
lican  form  of  government;  and  to  that  end  they  should  adopt  the' 
Constitution  of  the  United  States,  to  altered  and  amended  as  to 
suit  the  new  state  of  affairs.
